English Version of Child-rearing Support App "Ghost Call" Now Available, Boasting 4.6 million Downloads in Japan and Used by Over 120,000 Parents Daily

TOKYO, Jan. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Media Active, Inc. has made available since
December 6, 2013, an updated version of its child-rearing support app
"Ghost Call," titled "Ghost Call DX/English Version," on Google Play
and iTunes App Store in 43 countries and regions in which English is
the first language.

Have you ever had trouble disciplining your child as he or she refuses
to do what you tell him/her to do? In such a case, a phone call from a
virtual third party telling the child that he/she is not behaving
himself/herself can redirect the child's attention and change his/her
consciousness. When it makes the child begin to do voluntarily what
he/she is told to do, it is very important for you to tell him/her
carefully why he/she got the call. Rewarding the child with a lot of
words of praise and encouragement will lead to building a favorable
behavior pattern.

The "Ghost Call" app is not designed to surprise the child. Rather, it
is designed to redirect his/her attention and change his/her
consciousness. Please use the app as one of child-rearing support tools
by selecting a scary or sweet character depending on the child's
disposition or the situation faced.

- Situations in which the child's consciousness can be changed:

1. When he/she wouldn't listen to you (Red Ogre)
2. When he/she completes tidying something up (Cat)
3. When he/she does not stop fighting with siblings (Space Alien)
4. When he/she does something nice (Ninja)
5. When he/she doesn't stop crying (Baby)
6. When you want to get him/her right to bed (Princess)
7. When he/she refuses to eat (Zombie)
8. When he/she refuses to take a bath (Wolfman)
9. When he/she refuses to brush his/her teeth (Witch)
10. When he/she refuses to go to bed (Dracula)
11. From Santa Claus (Santa Claus)
12. When you want to stop him/her being picky about food (Fairy)

- Interesting features (recording and voice changer)

Using the 12 situations expressed by actors/actresses as a reference,
parents can make recordings of original sentences, such as by including
the name of the child or his/her promises with other family members, so
that the child will pay more attention.
